🏔️ 6:00 AM. Harbin Taiping Airport FBO.
Mr. Zhao's party of 12 — including his 78-year-old grandmother, two 5-year-old twin grandsons, and 4 senior executives from the family business — is preparing to fly to Niseko, Hokkaido for a ski trip. Commercial flights? Twelve tickets mean scattered seating, and the 3 sets of ski equipment plus 2 golf bags would cost an extra ¥40,000 in oversize fees. More critically — after landing at New Chitose Airport, it's another 3-hour drive to Niseko.
Concierge Xiao Zhou's proposal: Challenger 850, 12-seat wide-body cabin, direct flight to New Chitose.
"Mr. Zhao, the 850 has the widest cabin in its class — your grandmother can stand and stretch during the flight, and the twins will have plenty of room to play. All the ski gear goes in the cargo hold, no extra charges."
Mr. Zhao watches the twins bouncing excitedly around the FBO lounge and nods with satisfaction. When an aircraft can hold the needs of three generations, it ceases to be mere transportation — it becomes a vessel for family memories.

Member Stories: Certainty for Three Generations
Case 1: V1 Member — Family Ski Trip
"12 people, 3 sets of ski gear, 2 golf bags. The 850's cargo hold fit everything, no extra charges. My grandmother stood up and walked two laps in the cabin, saying 'this is wider than my living room.' Helicopter from the tarmac straight to the Niseko hotel door — not a single queue the entire trip." — VP of a real estate group, iFlyPlus V1 member
Case 2: V2 Member — Executive Team Trip
"A 12-person team trip. We held a 2-hour meeting onboard. Meeting zone and rest zone — no interference. When we arrived at the client's office, they said: 'Your team looks so much better than those who flew economy.'" — Partner at a private equity fund, iFlyPlus V2 member
Case 3: V0 Member — First Charter
"I always thought chartering was expensive — until my concierge recommended the Challenger 850. Split among 12 people, less than ¥30,000 per person. Not much more than commercial first class, but the experience is worlds apart — no queues, no delays, the entire aircraft is ours." — V0 member, family's first charter
